TOWN 'N COUNTRY - Millie Dittmer celebrated her birthday for a week.

Some may think that's extreme, but in Dittmer's case it's not every day she will turn 100.

Leading up to her July 16 birthday she had several birthday parties, including one at Shapes on Hillsborough Avenue.

At Shapes she was greeted with congratulations and birthday wishes before heading off to a water aerobics class, which she takes three times a week.

"All these people have been so good to me," said Dittmer, who has been going to Shapes for about 29 years. "Never have I had such good friends.

"I have some aches and pains, but otherwise I am in great condition," Dittmer said about turning 100.

Asked what her secret to life is, she said, jokingly, "do all the wrong things."
